DON'T

let that cold of yours run on. You
think it is a light thing. But it
may run into catarrh. Or into
pneumonia. Or consumption.
Catarrh is disgusting, Pneumo-
MIA is dangerous. Consumption is
death itself.
The breathing apparatus must be
kept healthy and clear OF all OBJ
structions and offensive matter.
Otherwise there is trouble ahead.

head, nose, throat, bronchial tubes
and lungs, can be delightfully."- and

lonely wilderness THEIR spring OF
life is yearly renewed, and in few
months the soft zephyrs will dissolve
the rigors that now begin to clog
the life-current at their hearts, and
again will their stately heads he
decked with crowns unequaled by
those of the monarchs of earth.
The genial sunlight will again ripen
their beauties, and in their leafy
coverts the wild birds, as before,
will build their happy homes and
MARBLE to their true-loves through
the long summer days and, when in
the fulness of time the cold hand of
inevitable death again touches them,
they will sink to sleep in blaze of
splendor exceeding that of Solomon
in all his glory. But man, proud
man, the Lord of Creation has but
one Spring, one Summer and one
Autumn of feverish existence, and
the long, long, dreary Winter of the
grave, and wise man or fool his
death is the same according to the
inspired word of the great son of
David.
How like us it is to start off with
a dissertation on a shamefully di-
lapldated old hat and wind up with
some subject of tremendous import.
There are laughing philosophers
who regard life as comedy, and
weeping ones who can see nothing
in existence but tragedy. We can
see great deal of both all around
us, and we can laugh or weep ac-
cording to the occasion, though we
prefer the former, for as the Irish
man says, we may as well sing grief
as cry it. But we aim to keep our
merriment and solemnity separate,
taking care, besides, that our fun is
innocent and our treatment of grave
subjects at least respectful.

A Duplicate of Chatsworth R. R. Disas-
ter.

A terrible railroad accident oc
CURED last Monday on the Chicago
and Atlantic Railroad, at KOuts',
Indiana, about GO miles from Chi.
COCO. in which 80 lives were lost 1t
appears that the New York express
stopped at the water tank near
Kouts', and through the carelessness
or laundering of the railroad a
freight train, which was following,
crashed into the rear coach of the
express. The wreck instantly caught
fire and was consumed before many
of the imprisoned passengers could
be extricated from the debris. 1t is
estimated that fully 80 lives were
sacrificed and over half that number
suffered injuries more or less serious.
Information of the accident is said
to be very meager, and the action of
the r. Il. authorities in endeavoring
to suppress tidings, leads to the con-
clusiOn that it is one of that class
of disasters due to grossest negli-
gence, and shows that the lesson Of
Chatsworth has not been profted
by. Such persistent disregard of
precautions against fire on the part
of r. r. officials should earn for
them, not the censure of a coroner's
Jury. buta conviction of manslaugh
ter Then, and not till then, can
the public look for proper protec-
ton.

Mrs. Margaret A. Douglas, widow
of the late Judge r. Douglas, Of
this place, died on Sunday night last,
at the residence Of her son in-law,
DR.. VIM. Fuller, in Winchester, Va,
after few days illness of paralysis,
aged about II years. Mrs. Douglas
was a typical old Virginia lady, of
whom but few survive. She had for
a half century or more been con
sistent member of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. Her lovely char
acter and true christian virtues were
such as to command the highest es-
teen of those who knew her, and
gave her a decided influence for good
among all with whom she came in
contact. In her death a truly good
woman has been called hence--the
Lord hath taken one Of his saints to
enter upon everlasting joys above
SPiTit.
The remains of Mrs. Douglas
were brought here last Tuesday and
inferred in the Episcopal grave yard.

CHICAGO, November 1.--George Engel.
Louis Linsg and Adolph Fischer, OF the
group OF condemned Anarchists. have writ
ten open letters to Governor Oglesby refus-
ing any communication OF sentence short OF
liberty and declaring their unabated faith
in the principles OF anarchy. Their letters
are very long and consist mainly OF an OK
position of their well-known ideas in regard
to the social conditions existing and tho
necessity for remedies. They declare
in substance that they are not guilty OF
any crime and they have exercised the
right OF free speech, free thought
and free sssemblage. as guaranteed
by the Constitution, and have criticised
existing evils and succored their fellow citi-
sens with their advice as is the right OF
every honest citizen. Their experience,
they say, has eradicated their belief in tho
existence of equal rights OF the poor and
rich, and the action of public officers. police
and militia have produced the belief that
the present conditions
CANNOT LAST LONG.
Not being conscious OF any guilt they
say "the powers that be may murder, but
cannot punish them, and protest aRainstA
Communication of sentence, demandingeither

clares among other things, that If he is
held responsible for the death OF the police

deeds OF John Brown, therefore he could
